### 5.5.1. Paragraph: P

The <P> element indicates a paragraph. The exact indentation, leading space, etc. of a paragraph is not specified and may be a function of other tags, style sheets, etc.

Typically, paragraphs are surrounded by a vertical space of one line or half a line. The first line in a paragraph is indented in some cases.

Example of use:

        <H1>This Heading Precedes the Paragraph</H1>
        <P>This is the text of the first paragraph.
        <P>This is the text of the second paragraph. Although you do not
        need to start paragraphs on new lines, maintaining this
        convention facilitates document maintenance.</P>
        <P>This is the text of a third paragraph.</P>
